20 things we learned from the Miami Dolphins' 22-16 loss to the Buffalo Bills

The Bills swept the Dolphins in 2017, preventing Miami from producing a respectable home record (4-4), and delivering the franchise’s sixth losing season of this decade. The last two times the Dolphins produced 6-10 seasons the head coaches (Tony Sparano and Joe Philbin) got fired. Adam Gase’s job is safe based on his impressive showing in 2016, but he and his staff can’t afford a repeat performance of this dismal season. -- Omar Kelly

This game reflected poorly on the Dolphins coaching staff. From Adam Gase's inserting unprepared-for-the-NFL quarterback David Fales on the game's second series, seemingly intent on gift-wrapping a win for the Buffalo Bills and ending their 17-season skid of not making the playoffs ... to his eschewed easy field goal attempts when the game was close (and then deciding to kick one when it was 19-0 with 17:30 left in the game) ... In addition, after 15 weeks in a row of that ridiculous refrain of how poor-focus items such as presnap penalties would "be cleaned up," the presnap penalties infested yet another game, with four logged in the first 15 minutes. And, then, the coup de grace, Jarvis Landry and Kenyan Drake embarrassing the franchise with their selfish behavior in getting ejected after a Landry touchdown in the fourth quarter. Gotta wonder about how lax the atmosphere is in Davie for some of the odd behavior and utter lack of discipline evident throughout this season.
